Why, oh why, oh WHY do people do this?

[OlderAndWiser]

What is the point of anyone wearing a mask like this? Who does this guy think he's fooling?

[Siri137]

What is the point in anyone wearing a mask, full stop? I still sometimes see silly people, usually old people, walking around with those things on, and I can only conclude they do so because they're ignorant, afraid, and are so brainless they actually believe the lies their government tells them about how we should all avoid, to the greatest extent possible, ever coming into contact with any germs whatsoever (because they're all bad, apparently, and early exposure to them doesn't enhance and develop our immune systems at all).

[OlderAndWiser]

Not all of us old folks are that gullible.

[RavenDarkheart]

Omg thank you, a thousand times thank you. I’m so, so sick of people walking up to me threatening to complain to my boss or to the main offices of our chain cause they think we should still be wearing masks and have one on like this picture or one guy even had it down on his chin. I can’t argue with them then but have been wanting to for so long now.

[WhiteSteve]

Lmao. Wear a mask or don’t. Never understand this. This is like “I don’t want to be given a hard time for not wearing a mask, but I also don’t really want to wear it.” 2020 taught me how soft humans have become. Can’t tolerate a mask on your face, absolutely pudding-soft😂😂😂

[Kingofkings1992]

That’s horse shit. Complying with something that you don’t agree with, that doesn’t protect the health of anyone and actually harms your own is unthinkably soft. 2020 taught me the extent of how profoundly stupid humans ate, and how easily they can be manipulated and abused thinking it’s in their best interest.. People have every good reason to be against a mask mandate. Being forced to wear a mask resonates with a loss of identity. It represents having your voice taken away from you.

[Kingofkings1992]

Humans are*

[Phoenix98]

If your a masker you either gotta go all the way or not all. Otherwise what’s the point.

[OlderAndWiser]

EXACTLY!

[Massageman]

Maybe they just want to be able to breathe. ;- )

[RavenDarkheart]

I get that I really do, but the point is supposed to be to stop a virus, and if you’re just letting it in your nose why bother.

[Anonymous]

I went back to wearing one when I came down with a little tickley cough (Not from any sickness but from change of temp). It has taught me as healthy as I have been all of my life, that one can easily get something and this annoying tickle is something even now that I do not want. Nor anything worse.

[devilish-cutie]

I don't know but this is the only correct way

[myloveforuisinfinte]

😂😂

[exitseven]

a lot of peopl ehave trouble breathing with a mask. I bought masks that has the one way valves on them and I took the valves apart and took out the rubber valve part do ot became a couple of bog holes that I could breathe through.

[AviatorTom]

They wear a mask because people tell them they have to. Then they wear the mask so it's most comfortable, even though it doesn't do anything. Then again, there are questions about whether masks, worn properly, do anything anyway.

[MiddleAgedClimbee]

He is ashamed of his chin! It's a new fashion trend for those who aren't good at shaving :-)

[OlderAndWiser]

VFF!

[MiddleAgedClimbee]

@OlderAndWiser virus fashion forever?

[OlderAndWiser]

Very fucking funny!

[MiddleAgedClimbee]

@OlderAndWiser even better! Definitely over the mask wearing in this household.

[OlderAndWiser]

I was dating in the first year of covid. I'm not letting the leftist fear-mongering stop me!

[BoopBoopBeep]

I wear mine over my eyes. Much like a child playing hide and seek, if I can't see covid it can't see me.

I have covid now for completely unrelated reasons...

[strateguy632]

not for germs but for feelings. people pressure wear, but annoying, so like that.

i doubt it is rebellion but rebels can learn from these.

[GoodGuyBreakingBad]

This is what my cousin does, and it's totally nuts.

[OlderAndWiser]

Hope it doesn't run in the family! :) :) :)

[GoodGuyBreakingBad]

@OlderAndWiser I agree but honestly I never wear my mask like that it must cover my nose and mouth.

[sean1234]

Because they don't want to get in trouble from not wearing a mask?

Those specific types don't protect against anything and if they did, they would collect gems and make you sick.

[PBandJ_Nerd]

I don't know. But if he is sick, he's still going to spread germs around and make people sick.

[NamerOfStars]

For pretty much the same reason they have for the past four years: to signal ideological loyalty and compliance.

[Surely]

They can honestly say that they are wearing a mask. Whether it’s on their chin, mouth, or actually covering their mouths and nose at the same time. Can’t imagine what the people in cars, by themselves are protecting themselves from!

[Billlewis]

I think they do it to fit in with the crowd.

[ShadezMcgee]

Looks like he is trying to keep his mustache protected. Rightfully so

[DJB72]

Two possibilities:

1) Ignorance of how a mask "works"
2) Fuck the mandate

[RandomUser1000]

Clearly he uses his mask to hide his moustache and/or beard.

[LunarEclipse433]

It’s stupid. Been in medicine for 40 years. If it worked hospital staff would wear them that way. Most say it is to stop them from spreading if they cough

[Likes2drive]

That’s just good for when he is talking and stopping the spit, it serves no other purpose wearing it like that

[beebella]

That ways happens when I wear those particular masks. They're too big for my face, they either ride up and block half of my vision or fall down. 😩

[beebella]

Always**

@beebella
Has anyone showed you how to put it on? There's kinda a little trick to it. If you hold it in your hands and look and feel where the part of one edge bends a little. The other edge does not and that's the part you wear under your chin.
So, put the mask on, and place the edge that bends and put that part across your nose. Now to make it stay on your face better, pinch the middle of the nose part while it is on the ridge of your nose. Push the mask down a little under your eyes so you can see.
By pinching the wire part you put over your nose really tight, below your eyes, on your nose it should make the mask stay in place.
Once that is secure, punch it again and then pull the masks down over your face and under your chin then put the part that the strings go on behind each ear.
